#1 "Occupation" is probably the best thing that ever happened to them... I see a dark future for these fools.

#2 Don't worry, Scoot. I'm sure W. will be waiting with an armful of big, fat foreign aid checks for our pals the Pals.

#3 I will climb on to my roof and plant the Palestinian flag.... and I will expect that Peace Hotel to be built by my government...and when it does not, for the first time, the crazy little thought will enter my head that maybe my own government is to blame. I'll shake it off, and find a new way to blame Israel, but for a brief moment, it will enter my pea-brain that perhaps my own government is to blame.

#4 â€œWhen they leave, we will build a large hotel on the seafront which will be called the Peace Hotel,”

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure you will, pal. Come for the internicine warfare, stay for the executions of the 'collaborators'.

2b,
Don't tell me you're getting "Ununnecessary Jew Eviction: Withdrawal Symptoms" Get a grip, don't be a pea-brain.

#6 Wonderful picture, Poison Reverse. Is that the Rennaisance artist, or someone recent? OT, I saw your post about how to do bullet points -- thanks much! I do appreciate your thoughtfulness -- but I'm afraid it's too complicated for me to remember. I'll just stick with my small o's. ;-) On the other hand, given the Rantburg audience of thousands, I'm sure many will have benefitted from your advice, so it won't have been wasted.

#7 Well, I guess you can't fault his optimism - the idea of a 'Peace Hotel' in the Gaza strip is not something that would have ocurred to me.

I almost feel sorry for them, they genuinely think that all the problems they've had for the last 40,400,4000 years were down to the Joos. What a major wake-up call they're going to have when the Hamas psychos come in and start running the show - at least the Israelis didn't kill people for being 'collaborators'.

Come August the 18th, the Palestinians are (in theory) going to have noone to blame for their woes but themselves. It will be interesting to see how they do manage to blame any setback on the Joos.

One last thought .... “I will go to the beach with my children and my wife. We will organize a huge party and then sleep on the sand and under the stars, with nothing to fear.” really? Sorry Pal, but I can't see that happening for a long time to come - and it's not going to be the Israelis that are going to make you fearful.

#8 if they at least have aspirations that conflict with Hamas, thats a start. But I agree, this is probably the BEGINNING of the hardest times for the Pals of Gaza, not the end.

#9 tw,
The picture is not a Rennaisance. It's simply an optical illusion.

IMO, using "o's" for bullet points are ugly. Let's keep RB purdy. I agree, that it's hard to remember.

I think Fred should add it on the comment window as a "copy & paste" option, along with, Link, Bold, Italic, & Strike. Anyone agree?

--Copy and paste this (li class="MsoNormal" style="") to the RB comment window. But, don't copy the parentheses. Then, add "<" right before "li" and ">" right after second quotation mark This will give you your bullet point.

Add a space after the greater than sign and type your comment.

For example, this how it would look like with 3 bullet points.

  • Test 2
  • Test 3

    #10 The hard part for the gaza paleos is they'll have nobody close to hate. They may find living with themselves far worse than they could have imagined given the propensity for violence and idiocy.

    #11 I think Zimbabwe will be the closest parallel.

    #12 And who gets the nice houses the Israelis left behind? And which gang gets which old army positions and the checkpoint cash cows? Things could get lively very quickly . ..

    #13 James,
    Its my understanding (or at least my hope) that Israel will destroy the houses left behind. I read that Israel and the paleo 'govenment' agreed to that.

    I think Iyad and his buddies is going to be in for a few Rude suprises when the house(s) he has been drooling over go kaboom and Hamass and the others starts to looking for easier targets to satisfy their addiction for innocent blood.

    #14 Pity. But now that you mention it, yes, I'd forgotten that they did agree to boom the houses. Easier to blame the Jews for the missing houses than to try to explain why the gang bosses get the goodies.
